A few of the capstones on the retaining wall out front are precariously hanging close to the edge as a result of long-term, hydrological processes. They look like they are about to fall, especially if someone happens to sit on the wall at that place. Owner of this property is the same as 322 E. 12th, the one with the dangerous sidewalk. He is an out-of-state, absentee landlord who doesn't care about the neighborhood or safety in general. If he is going to be required to fix the sidewalk on 12th, please also require him to attend to this retaining wall. One of the capstones has already fallen and broken. Someone just picked it up off the sidewalk and placed it back on top of the wall without mortar.

About ten "Bird" scooters are parked on the street on Grant just north of 7th. There is no scooter corral at this location, and they are blocking a parking spot for cars.
A big, white delivery van parks here often. It leaks oil and has created an oil patch on the street out front.
Bird scooter blocking the sidewalk for over 7days on the corner of the North side of East 3rd and S. Meadowbrook Dr.
The trucks carrying asphalt are spending down Sheffield Dr. They did it when they were removing the asphalt so I talked to them. Didn't help.
The meters in front of 401 w Seventh st were installed backwards. To feed the meter it should face away from the car/street just like the rest of the meters around town. When looking for a parking spot I look for meters flashing green so I can save some money. These meters are backwards - so you can’t see if it is flashing red or green
I tried to use this area to have a quick meeting with colleagues before going to an appointment at a business on the square. This area was unavailable due to the mess. Balloons, needles, beverage cans, etc. (The yoga mat is mine.) Further, these benches are damaged and appear to be unmaintained. I then moved to the corner of the square where no needles were visible. There I was immediately solicited by panhandlers twice. All of this is unacceptable and I hope to see these areas cleaned and maintained on a proper schedule. The frequency with which I am required to defend myself physically against panhandlers here is becoming unbearable. It is unsafe to be downtown in Bloomington, Indiana.
